It's not scumbag. It's a d-day simulator. When bambis make it past the coast, it will feel great to have survived a tough challenge. There's that rush: " I'm in, where am I...who cares...just get the hell out of here and then worry about it"

Apocalypse Pony

I want zombie dogs now. And poisonous snakes.

Not now but after alpha is considered 'finished.' It's still not so great news, nobody should try to sugarcoat it, but it's not the end of the world either.

If you have skill, you shouldn't have any ruined gear unless there's a bug.

Kill someone and you get all his gear. That's also called surviving. People don't kill for points. They just want your can of beans. The survival aspect sets up the pvp. If it rains, you can't just hide outside in the woods. You have to go find shelter...but someone may be there ready to shoot you. You need stuff so you look for loot. But someone may be there to shoot you.

There is a challenge in building a real fire or butchering an animal or tying knots, etc but the problem is, there's no skill involved when you try to do it in game. It's just click and wait. Whereas if you wanted to shoot, you actually have to aim and make your shots count.

It's whatever you and everyone else wants it to be.

Don't forget the CEO.

It could be a bug but check this picture (dslyecxi) If the bore line is not clear (such as a mound or a branch), you won't hit the target even though your line of sight to target is clear because the lines are at different heights. You can see this in action http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEV56yd8gn0 around 43 minutes

That means dayz's doing its job like it's supposed to. You'll be back :)

Which mod... You can play DayZ mod on quite a few maps

You can follow the road but don't be seen on the road. Everyone watches the roads. Be off to the side...hopefully next to the road there are trees or you are behind defilade (such as in a long ditch). Usually the first thing you want to do is find the highest spot possible and walk along the side of it. Don't be on the very top of the hill but be a few meters below the crest. You should always be looking for all possible cover, near and far. The cover that is near you should be potential places to run towards if you are under fire. Cover that is far away from you may be possible places for bad guys to shoot you from. By focusing on cover, you will cut down on the scanning you'll have to do.

DayZ will be over when there really is a zombie apocalypse and we'll have to worry about being killed for a real can of beans.
